Bought mine new in 2004.
No sheared EXUP screws. Replaced original screws with stainless cap screws.
The reason you have to get the valve out in the first place is becuase it seizes.
One time mine seized tight and I could get it out, I was just spreading the end of the shaft trying and making matters worse. Took it to work (power station) and our mechanical boys eased it out for me.
Don't think I'll have that problem again, it's quite loose in the bushes now and you can hear the valve rattle when the engine is running. It's still doing it's job though.
